ANOTHER new filk: "Geeky Girls"

This one is to the tune of an old Scottish traditional song called "Eppie Morrie". In case you don't know it, here's a link to Karan Casey's version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILU0RYhmCWI (Although the version I'm familiar with is the one by Sileas (pron. shi-LAHS) on

A thought while I still remember it...

Warning: Right now, I am definitely in an overwrought, emotional state today, so I may be waaaay out in left field.

I would like it if this line was reworked: "If you had aught to show off, you'd be flaunting it like me, be flaunting it like me."

Why? Because it turns the focus from 'geek girls are here for themselves' to 'we are here for YOU to look at.'

I'm remembering the Victorian Era where showing some ankle was considered unladylike 'flaunting'--so now I vibe that word with "she was totally asking for it."

Of course, do I have a replacement line? Nope.

That is, in fact, the one line I was least sure of. I thought I'd see what kind of response I got before trying to change it, though.

I'll see if I can come up with something better that's still in meter and rhyme.
